Tumor-associated neutrophils in lung adenocarcinoma: from mechanisms to therapeutic targeting

Review of how tumor-associated neutrophils shape the lung adenocarcinoma microenvironment and potential neutrophil-targeted therapies.

Key Takeaways
  • Despite the advances in immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), primary and acquired resistance remain major obstacles
  • Major challenges, including off-target toxicity, infection risk, and the lack of predictive biomarkers, are discussed
  • Under chronic stimulation within the TME, neutrophils can be skewed towards a pro-tumorigenic “N2-like” phenotype
